Religious Los Angeles Lakers fan arriving soon. Is there sports bars anywhere that play NBA games live/delayed/at all to go to and watch? Is there an NBA following in Korea? I know we beat them by 60 points or so in the Seoul Summer Games, but it seemed like the crowd was amazed by the U.S.A. team. If I am going to be overseas for 99% of the Lakers back-to-back title run, I would be thrilled to know I can watch in a public place versus shouting at my laptop in my apartment alone.

I'm also a die hard NBA fan and I'm most interested in going somewhere for games this fall.

I really hate the lakers. More than I hate the Celtics and the knicks and that is quite a lot of hate.

I hope they lose this season and have to blow their all-star..uhh I mean "team" up.

Been trying to get to the bottom of this for a while now. To my mind highlights were showen on Saturday morning. Don't think I have ever watched a full game.

I think the Celtics will run out winners this time round. KG is back, a wounded animal... Artest is a good purchase by LA though.

SBS Sports and MBC ESPN show NBA games in Korea live. I also believe Star Sports Southeast Asia feed also broadcasts the games.

Thanks Yaya. I definitely won't be purchasing cable... T.V. is not for me EXCEPT basketball. I have a feeling I may be searching for tv sets in bars to try and take over.

You need to remember that you'll be taking over these TVs 16/17 hours ahead of West Coast time (for the Lakers) and therefore it will be morning when you get to watch these games, if you want to watch them live.

Perhaps there is an online package, I saw they are offering HD games online now on NFL.com

Haven't checked nba.com but it might be worth a look
